I Still Don’t Know What to Make of the Pandemic:


Most of us have an opinion one way or another. Some still believing that a lockdown is the only viable option, while others now strongly opposing it. Some have thought that strong lessons are to be learned from the pandemic, which could spark significant and hopefully positive change in the future.

I Want Boris Back! (but could never vote for him)


Love him or hate him, a huge proportion of people from our nation and further a-field are praying for Boris Johnson, our Prime Minister. So having been admitted into St Thomas hospital Sunday night, by the following night he found himself in need of oxygen, and in need to be moved into intensive care inContinue reading “I Want Boris Back!
